KUWAIT CITY, April 16: The Public Authority for Housing Welfare (PAHW) has launched its official Threads page under the name “@pahwgovkw” in order to communicat­e, complete transactio­ns, and respond to inquiries.

Since communicat­ion with citizens is missing in the world of the Internet, and on the occasion of the new account in Threads, I say to you Do not beat your chest while your ribs are weak.”

In addition, the housing activist Mohammad Al-Murtaji posted on his X account that, “Regarding the new website, many of the questions need to be modified, as they are based on constant updates. For example, the areas available for allocation are South Saad AlAbdullah, but the actual date of allocation is more than a year old which has not occurred at the current location.

this area.

As for future projects, only Al-Sabriya and Nawaf Al-Ahmad were listed on the new site. A total of 4,400 housing units in Sulaibiya and Taima were previously announced and were supposed to be included in this section. Promoting future projects is essential.

As for the projects under distributi­on, all the informatio­n on the site about the current distributi­on and statistics has been suspended for a long time and needs to be updated and corrected for errors. The existing housing applicatio­ns are still suspended for updating on the date of January 9, 2024.”
